Lion King

The office life is pretty crazy and never predictable. Its exactly what I needed this transfer.
So you were wanting to know what goes on exactly in the office. Well we basically manage and solve all the problems of the mission. From 10-5 we are in the office working, then from 5-9 30 we are out doing classic missionary work. My companions name is Elder Schneider, he is from a ville named Metz in the north of france. Ha I really love this kid. Hes really helping me perfect my french. President Roney said my main goal this transfer is just to get back into fighting shape, but the real goal is to buy and stock 15 new appartments in our mission. They had only gotten 5 or so in the past 4 months so we've got our work cut out for us. Things are going well.
These past two days have been pretty legendary. I'm not sure if I ve mentioned it, but President Roney is actually 'Chef Roney'. He is the cheftein of a village in the Chewa nation. It is the biggest tribe in africa. Turns out President quickly made best friends with the king and since has flown him out to Salt lake and ate with the Apostles together. Well this time the king wanted to check out europe so he's currently here. We've been running him around and have been his tour guides the past 2 days. Its not everyday that you get to teach a king. I felt like Ammon before king Lamoni as we testified to him the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon haha.

I wish everyone a good week.
